NEW YORK -- Pair your next filet mignon with a red wine from disgraced financier Bernard Madoff's exclusive cellar.

U.S. Marshals have authorized the entire wine cellar to go to auction, which will be held on Wednesday. Click here for information about the wines being auctioned.

Proceeds from the auction will go to Madoff's victims. Some of them are Central New York union workers who had their retirements tied up with Madoff.

Madoff is currently serving a 150-year prison sentence for masterminding a multibillion-dollar Ponzi scheme that robbed hundreds of victims around the world of their investments.

U.S. Marshals will also hold a live auction of the contents of Madoff's former mansion in Palm Beach, Florida, on June 4.
